8. Joe Pesci was excellent and so was that little girl that was the daughter, Pacino was fun to watch.

The movie is an hour too long though and seems like self indulgent reminiscing by the director, it really really drags at times and seemingly for no reason but unwillingness to edit out long, useless and boring scenes.

9. I have to agree that

it needed a lot of editing. I stuck with it and it was worth it, but it can be a slog at times.

DeNiro was good, Pesci was wonderful, and I did love the child star that played Peggy. She could have a future, she is so expressive, without speaking.

But it was Pacino who really impressed me. I felt like I was watching Jimmy Hoffa, he captured him perfectly.

There will be several Oscar nominations, no doubt.
